New bike licence / old car licence - points?

[FLV]

Sooo, just wondering...

Considering I've had a car licence for 15 years.
Once I pass my bike test will I become classed as a new rider and therefore be subject to the 6 points banning rules? or continue under the 12 points rule?

Not that I'm planning to rush out and get a load of points you understand

I believe the 2 year probationary period runs from your first full UK license issue date.

so 12 point rule for me then....

it seems a little ambiguous everywhere I read it though.

what about me then, I've passed my car test this july, So once i pass my bike test, it doesn't reset the 2 year period?
So it'll end two years from this july I passed my car test.

Awesome.
